Theres A Thunderstorm Over My House Right Now. As Loud As The Lightning Is, It And The Rainfall Are Ultimately

there’s a thunderstorm over my house right now. as loud as the lightning is, it and the rainfall are ultimately set dressing, and i’m warm and dry inside.

there was a storm over palestine today, too. for marah, a college student like me, the rain meant a flooded tent, waterlogged flour. mud and wet feet and chill. no shelves to protect precious belongings from the damage.

here’s my post linking to the baalou family’s fund. please spread this around— conditions become critical as quickly as a storm comes.

Hi. Mahmoud Baalou reached out to me via DM and asked me to share his story. He, his sister, and his parents are trying to escape the war and find safety in Egypt. His mother and father are both diabetic, making a difficult time even harder. He’s doing everything he can to help his family but he needs your support too. Please donate if you have anything to spare, and if you can’t, please share!

I've been asked by Marah (@freepaleatine95) to share her family's gfm campaign.

Marah was a uni student studying computer engineering but her university has now been bombed. Her brother and her father's businesses were also destroyed, and they are now left without an income. Their home has also been destroyed and they have lost their beloved pet kittens.

This is not the first time their lives have been upended by the occupation army. They have lost their brother in 2006 after he was shot in the chest. And now at the hands of Israel, they are facing homelessness, a scarcity of basic necessities, in addition to frequent bombings! They have had bombs dropped 3 meters away from where they were sleeping before, and have watched the remains of their neighbours dug out from under the rubble.

They are now living in a flimsy tent. With the coming winter and the pouring rain these few days, rain has leaked into their tent. Their belongings have been flooded and their meager flour provisions have been destroyed. Marah's elderly parents are sick and suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. With the cold and the rain and their flooded tent, they do not know how they are going to survive the coming winter... Please donate to help them buy a new insulated tent as well as supplies like coats and blankets! A new tent can shelter them from the cold and the rain, as well as any overflowing sewage, which is vital to protecting them from diseases and keeping them safe!

Hello my dears, I hope you are well. Please help me

I, Mahmoud Baalousha, have lived through five wars in my life, and in the 2006 war, the biggest shock in my life was the loss of my older brother, Muhammad...

I will tell you a little about my life

I had ambition and a bright future. I loved life and living in stability and security, and I loved working hard in my future...

I had a few days to go and I was about to start a new life and look for a suitable woman to marry.

I had achieved some things that I had dreamed of since October 7, which was buying a house, but the war destroyed my dreams and ambitions.

I had a nice exhibition related to children's and women's shoe sales
